As far as babyproofing is concerned, you have to start as early as possible. In fact, you should have started yesterday. As soon as you found out that a baby is on the way, plans should be set into motion for babyproofing your home.
\nDon\u2019t wait until your child starts crawling or walking. You\u2019ll never know when exactly that\u2019s going to happen. So be prepared and start babyproofing your home<\/a> right now.<\/p>\n

\"Babyproofing
\nBabyproofing Steps to Prioritize:<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a general rule, you have to baby proof the entire home as fast and as efficient as you can. However, you have to start somewhere, and it\u2019s a good idea to start with the most important babyproofing steps. Start by doing these things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Buy a crib with fixed rails:<\/strong>
    \nCribs with drop sides are banned and for good reason so theoretically speaking, you won\u2019t be able to buy one anyway. However, be wary if you\u2019re getting a hand me down crib. There\u2019s a chance that it has drop sides. Stick to a crib with fixed rails.<\/li>\n
  2. Check in and around your home for dangerous plants:<\/strong>
    \nYou may not know it yet, but your house plants could be dangerous to children. Do research and remove them if necessary. Make sure to check your front and backyard as well for the presence of dangerous plants.<\/li>\n
  3. Install smoke and carbon dioxide alarms:<\/strong>
    \nIf you haven\u2019t done so already, now\u2019s the perfect time to install these alarms. Your child won\u2019t be able to tell if there\u2019s smoke or carbon dioxide present in the air so let these alarms warn you for your child.<\/li>\n
  4. Secure the windows:<\/strong>
    \nA window screen won\u2019t be able to stop a child from falling. Use window guards instead.<\/li>\n
  5. Remove potential choking hazards:<\/strong>
    \nGet down on all fours so you can look around your home like how a child would look around a home. See things that will potentially attract your child and remove choking hazards that you\u2019ll see.
    \nAs a general rule, whatever that can fit through a toilet roll insert is a potential choking hazard.<\/li>\n
  6. Childproof your doors and install door alarms:<\/strong>
    \nKids are fast. They can be out your door before you know it. This is why it\u2019s a good idea to childproof your doors and install door alarms. This way, your child won\u2019t be able to leave your home without you knowing.<\/li>\n
  7. Secure appliances and furniture:<\/strong>
    \nAppliances like TVs should be secured with straps so that they won\u2019t be toppled over by your child. Use the same for lighter furniture. For heavier furniture, use anchor bolts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These are very important babyproofing steps, but your job doesn\u2019t stop here once they\u2019re done.<\/p>\n
